Great Journey 🏴 Day 646

great journey 🏴 day 646 after a cosy night directly at the kingbarns

After a comfortable night right on Kingbarns Beach, directly with sea view and yes, also with a lot of wind and rain flying in sideways (that's how you want beach walks, isn't it?) we roll into St. Andrews.

Slowly the rain moves on and we stroll through the small town on dry feet. We notice once again that the inner cities have little greenery. We hardly find any trees at all.

All the more we enjoy the gardens or the little wild growth that does not fall prey to the British "everything-must-be-shorn-uniformly" desire.

St Andrews also has history, of course. And what a history it is. On our tour, however, we discover that all the historic buildings are surrounded by construction fences because of the risk of collapse and are therefore closed to us. Nevertheless, we can catch many glimpses and Gigi (who is now TripTastic)Our faithful reading app (we have to run it in English by now, it has much more information here) tells us everything we should know. Unfortunately, it also tells us everything we are not interested in, thousands of years, all the bishops chronologically and by name, and all the rubbish we couldn't remember in history class.

On the beach we see the students of the renowned St. Leonards College surfing and learn that surfing can lead to study points here. We have done something wrong.

We stroll through our first real Scottish town, find the Scottish English dialect quite enchanting (enchanted?) and think that smiling instead of understanding the language will get you pretty far.

Merci for "travelling with us

We are thinking about taking another break from travelling in the summer and visiting our families in Germany and Switzerland. One of the ideas is to organise a Lecture about our long journey to the Persian Gulf to prepare. If you would like to, what would interest you the most? We will also tell stories here that don't find a place here on the blog. We're thinking of the Bern and Berlin area - simply because we have family there. But other places are also conceivable. Feel free to write to us.

By the way, we are travelling through Iran. It's possible that we won't be writing posts at all or will be late. We first have to see if it works for us. And whether we can even manage to write down all the fantastic impressions in good time.

Do you think our travel experiences might be of interest to others? Then you can share the Share post quietly. By e-mail or however you want to do it.

In addition, if you haven't already done so, you can use our Newsletter subscribe. Here you will receive all our experiences in your mailbox whenever we publish something new or once a week on Fridays: live-pur.ch/newsletter

We are also very happy to hear your views, your tips or your questions. Just comment on the post!
